Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 9, 2024, 11:56 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Next 5 are still Duke, TAMU, Baylor, Louisville, and LSU
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Easy #1, like could’ve lost to Wisconsin they’d be #1 still good |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
If Georgia could never play Alabama again they would be a dynasty |
| 3 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
NIU ends the year 7-5 |
| 4 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Docked slightly for losing to Georgia twice |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Above Ohio State because they didn't lose to Michigan |
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
So if they win the national title is the season a success? |
| 7 |
Boise State Broncos
|
If this was a 4 team playoff I would have Boise at 3 or 4, luckily I don’t have to lie |
| 8 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Alabama’s non bad loss |
| 9 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Kept a low profile, it payed off |
| 10 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
S-K-A-TT-E-B-O no more Cyclone playoff hopes |
| 11 |
SMU Mustangs
|
All hail the savior of conference championship games! |
| 12 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Confusing team |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Replay of last years Rose Bowl, I remember the Badgers and Miami doing this in 2017 and 2018, if this stays true Alabama makes it to the Rose bowl in 2019, and then falls off a cliff |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
All those Ref payments to end up in the Pop-Tarts bowl |
| 15 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Lost to Kentucky |
| 16 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
The SEC rigged the SCar LSU game for the wrong team |
| 17 |
BYU Cougars
|
Probably better than their ranking, don’t lose to Kansas though |
| 18 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Being a Cyclone fan sounds completely miserable, at least you have basketball? |
| 19 |
Army West Point
|
Proof that strength of schedule matters, Sankey |
| 20 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Led an elaborate scheme that kicked Alabama out of the playoffs, and we all applaud you for that |
| 21 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Almost lost to Purdue that one time |
| 22 |
UNLV Rebels
|
Good team, but Boise is a great team |
| 23 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Sanders and Hunter playing in their bowl game is good for the sport |
| 24 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Wouldn’t be this low if they used Luther Burden more |
| 25 |
Memphis Tigers
|
No falling out when you didn’t play a game |
